Autobiography of a Georgia Cat Book

Autobiography of a Georgia Cat is the story of a Southern African-American family as
it struggles with the illness and death of a granddaughter who is married to a
Jewish man. Spiritual and family themes are emphasized. The story is narrated
by Black Jack, the remarkable family cat, who also tells of his own life as an
indoor-outdoor cat in Marietta , Georgia. Much space is devoted to "feline"
mythology and spirituality which have a distinctly Native-American flavor. The
strands of many cultures are woven into the fabric of this story, leaving the
reader with a positive message of hope and of the oneness of all things.

Animal
lovers will never look at their pets the same again after meeting Black Jack, a
deeply spiritual cat with a wry sense of humor. He agonizes through the
alcoholism of his guardian, Archie, and the increasing decrepitude of Archie's
wife, Cora, and her centenarian mother. The constant outpouring of gospel music
from Mama's radio adds to the spiritual power of this charming and touching story.
Whether from his commentary on dogs, fur balls, human nature, or whatever he
has on his mind as he tells his tale, the reader will know that he has had an
encounter with a wise, wonderful, and unforgettable feline.
